Abstract

A survey of effectiveness of home based team rehabilitation at Tai-Chung City was done form January to December 2001. Nineteen subjects (76.0% of total samples) were adopted for analysis. The rehabilitation programs included intervention once per week for six months and three times evaluation of ADL function. The results showed that 1) Both the first three months home based team rehabilitation and the following three months intervention had effectiveness on Barthel ADL index; the scores improved from 42.11±27.90 to 46.32±29.67 and 51.58±30.42 after 3 months and 6 months intervention; 2) Severity had inverse correlation to the score of Barthel ADL index. In conclusion, home based team rehabilitation had good outcomes on chronic disable patients, so we suggested that home based team rehabilitation should be included to integrated delivery system of rehabilitation service in the future.
